The Fed Will Not Raise Rates, No Matter What

The bottom line is, does not matter where the unemployment rate goes, does not matter how high the inflation rate goes, they can never raise interest rates without precipitating a worse financial crisis than the one we had in 2008.

A Lot Of Economic Indicators Are Showing That The Economy Has Already Rolled Over

The air is coming out of the bubble because the Federal Reserve halted or paused their quantitative easing program. Most think they have ended it but I think it is just paused because now everybody expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates because they think the recovery finally has enough traction that it no longer needs the emergency life support of zero percent interest rates yet a lot of economic indicators are showing that the economy has already rolled over and is rapidly headed back to recession.

Federal Reserve: Bluffing About Raising Rates

They should be raising interest rates but they will not be doing that. They are just bluffing about interest rate hikes because they want to pretend that the economy is actually strong enough to absorb higher interest rates. But the economy is a gigantic bubble and if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, they are going to prick it.
